RHEL 6.4 released? Why do my servers know it before I do?

Latest response

Dear Red Hat,

 

Why do I have to run

rpm -q redhat-release-server-6Server

to find a new Red Hat release has been made available?

If this would be come the case for RHEL 7, I would never be able to migrate.

Well it seems I missed the anouncement on the Red Hat Netherlands website. Still I find it strange not to have found it in yesterday's (20-feb-2013) newsletters.

 

Kind regards,

Jan,

The formal announcement for a new minor release sometimes lags a bit behind when the bits are pushed to Red Hat Network (overnight). A formal announcement is forthcoming today, but RHEL 6.4 is available! :-)

Andrius,

 

 

I found the announcement just after I started the discussion.

I run a satellite server in a test environment, and do satellite-sync's mostly by hand so I found the laptop that is connected directly to RHN doing an extremely long

yum -y update

Looked for the cause and found a redhat-release .... update.

 

Kind regards,

Good to know!

Maybe my vmware problem is solved now :)

A document about the changes avilable somewhere?
